My Husband Creates Amazing Steampunk Sculptures Of Pop Culture Characters From Recycled Materials

ADVERTISEMENT

Georges Ayusawa is my amazing husband and also a talented artist based in Switzerland.

He is an art director in the movie industry, so I’ve seen him creating art pieces from paintings to beautiful sculptures for particular locations but it was only a small part of his job…

Until DBFX Workshop contacted him with a crazy project. They asked him to create over 25 steampunk-style sculptures of pop culture characters in less than five weeks.

He decided to use only recycled materials, such as scrap metal, as he loves to give a second life to objects. From old typewriters, candlesticks to vacuum, cans, or car carpets… he used everything we and our friends had in our basements to create these cool sculptures.

I have never seen him this happy as when creating this steampunk art. This is why today I want you to see his work and encourage him to create more and be who he is meant to be – an artist.

Thank you very much, Lola ! I have a particular crush on that one, as much as the chopper, because they are made from no particular pre existing shape. I hope you’ll like my future pieces, I’ll continue to publish on my Facebook. cheers ! Georges

The ability to see a sculpture in the leftover refuse is an amazing talent, never mind the actual ability to do something with it. I am in awe of his abilities and bow down to a superior mind. Thank you so much for sharing. Be sure these are put on display at an art show, I do believe they are worthy of note.

And if you knew the fact that when I tried to find an actual Furby, I wasn't able to get it until my 9 years old daughter investigated for it... It took her two f.... hours !!!! I feel so old !!!!

For some reason, the Darth Vader helmet looks like a Desert Ranger helmet from F:NV.
